WARNING: UFO: Aftershock no-DVD Patch v1.2

[mailor]

The no-cd patch v1.2 is obviously not v1.2, but 1.1

Three facts I tested hint to this statement:

1) The AGILITY/DEXTERITY swap bug has been introduced in official patch 1.1 and fixed again in official patch 1.2 (it is back with no dvd crack 1.2)

2) With patch 1.2 it is possible to use throwing weapons (in 1.1 and the no dvd crack 1.2 it is not possible)

3) With patch 1.2 it is possible to use dual close combat weapons with a ranger lev2 (with 1.1 and the no dvd crack 1.2it was not possible)

Summary: With the 1.2 no dvd crack none of the bugs that have been fixed with official 1.2 patch are fixed, so it is identical with official 1.1 NOT official 1.2

Is there any chance, that a proper no dvd crack is going to be made? Because loading times are significally decreased when the no cd crack is applied.

And people have reported, that the game runs more stable as well...

So its confirmed this fix really doesn't work then eh?
It says 1.2 on the main menu when the game loads.
Shame..
:-(

Origami: Yes it is a shame.

I actually don't understand why this happened anyway. I hope someone can make a proper no dvd patch?

[mailor]

Does no one know if there is any way in solving this problem? No news about this?

[BarryB]

The only way for now is to use the original DVD with the v1.2 patch, I've not seen any news on a crackfix.

Also, repeated asking (or bumping) won't go down too well with the mods!!
